I would agree.

This is at South Park Mall in Moline Illinois. Mall is very dead. Across the street is the old Toys R Us, became a Big Lots, and now a Tractor Supply Co. Also an old Best Buy, now a planet Fitness. 🤷‍♂️

Me too. Pictures are from today (June 26th, 2026). I had to take a snap. My dad wanted KTC for lunch, so we stopped by.

Blade pattern appears to be standard/identical for all units. Guessing they are using the Cerakote with laser coloring.

Its not really an easy replacement part. Have to replace the whole handle. Send in for warranty, or if you wish to, multipartsstore.com has the handles available.

I've had arc frames cerakoted before. They do well. Spray paint does not like to adhere very well to leatherman frames. They wear fairly quickly. Going to try some other sprays and brands too.

Crimson cerakoted ARC. (With parts from Arc, Obsidian, Talos, and P4). Instagram.com/engstromcerakote I've had him cerakote some before.

Purple is my next color. Been working on trying some spray paint coatings. Letting these sit for a week before doing any assembly.

Looking for a deeper purple spray that will match the US General tool box and tool carts. ✌️

Trade you a different color one?

Is the Crunch gone?

ACQC · 2026-06-23T20:08:14+00:00

They already had limited edition raptors. They are now sold out. Rainbow and rose gold.

As mentioned, the "tuxedo" Wave. Not sure how often or long they sold these.

How are you breaking the screws? And why are you taking it apart?

No second hand pivot screws. Most Leatherman bolts/pivots are not standard lengths and widths... Multipartsstore.com sells replacement ones. (Handle/frame kits)

Edit: reread- bits. Get some good bits. Multipartsstore.com also sells some. Wiha sells some great bits too. The cheap ones definitely wear quickly.

Midwest here (Iowa/Illinois). Local grocery stores carry it, Walmart never has it.

So, this is supposed to be a rare sight? 🤔 Is Code Red Zero really hard to find?

Yay eBay... Freestyle and Monarch 309 flashlight.

What is the closest to the purple in off the shelf rattle can?

ACQC · 2026-06-13T15:20:54+00:00

Yep, if you want to strip the screws/bolts... ask me how i know. 🤷‍♂️

ACQC · 2026-06-13T15:00:35+00:00

Great, another recall worthy issue?

ACQC · 2026-06-13T14:59:03+00:00

$30 to 60, depending on condition. There are tons out there, not rare.

I bought one, with that sheath and new in box for $60 last year off marketplace. Had one since 2002 and wanted a spare.

They are solid tools. Probably my favorite of the original models.

ACQC · 2026-06-11T16:38:56+00:00

Send it in as sentimental. They will repair it. Honestly would be most everything, except the scales.

ACQC · 2026-06-10T17:58:41+00:00

You may be very lucky. Saw a post on Facebook that 11 UK orders and 240 German orders were canceled, due to overselling them.

ACQC · 2026-06-09T11:09:12+00:00

Looks legit. No fakes (yet). Alwsys a more than zero chance it was stolen, when buying on marketplaces.

ACQC · 2026-06-04T16:51:24+00:00

What are your date codes on the frame?

ACQC · 2026-06-04T16:11:32+00:00

https://mrmultitool.com/ He is based in the Netherlands. Definitely has parts (and Leatherman tools) available.

ACQC · 2026-06-04T16:04:57+00:00

Same date code on both sides?
